BAe Sea Harrier - Technical data and discussion

this is using force

No, it isn’t. Please answer what i asked.

what is thrust?

if not a force

In feetpics assessment he used a total gross thrust of 28,000 used the COS(60 degrees) and got 14,000

sqrt(14,000^2+14,000^2) = 19,798.98

he then used half of 28,000 to calculated the Harriers horizontal thrust loading.

he came up with a .81 TWR pushing the plane forwards

The FeetPics conspiracy to keep the Harrier dog shit goes all the way to the top.

Why are you using 14,000 for the other component? no one has said to do that.

please answer the question exactly as i asked it.

I just did his math thats all

if you want the other component you need the tan not the cos
its COS(60) + TAN(60)

runs so deep even the guys who built the harrier are in on it

Nope, you did your own. you added a number he didn’t say.

being what number then hmm

20k lbs

I don’t know, you tell me, i don’t know where you got that from because no one has said that other number. You assumed that the other vector would be the same size, no one has said this.

If one is .5 what is the other then

.866
Basic first thing in trig. they are not linear.

around .85

take a maths/physics class please @MatrixRupture

ok so then what would the standard force be for this engine

20k lbs

It is still a vector and it dosent become longer

Doesn’t matter for the thing i’m trying to discuss with you. It can be whatever you want for the sake of discussion. But if we are looking at the image you have been showing then it’s 20k total for every angle.
